Assistant professor in Quantum Information Theory and Processing

1 month ago


Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden KTH Royal Institute of Technology Full time
Assistant professor in Quantum Information Theory and ProcessingSchool of Computer Science and Communication at KTHSubject field

Quantum information theory and processing pertains to theories and principles of communication and information processing using quantum mechanical phenomena. It encompasses aspects of quantum communication, information processing, coding, security, algorithms, and learning, lying at the intersection of information theory, computer science, signal processing, and machine learning.

Duties

The position includes research and teaching within the subject field. The assistant lecturer is expected to eventually establish an independent research group, attract research funding, supervise doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, and establish research collaborations both within and outside KTH. The role also involves teaching at basic and advanced levels at the Department of Intelligent Systems and at the Department of Computer Science, as well as supervising degree theses.

The assistant professor will have the opportunity to develop independence as a researcher and gain accreditation for other teaching positions with higher eligibility requirements (see Chapter 4, Section 12 a of the Higher Education Ordinance). Following application, the assistant professor can apply for promotion to associate professor in accordance with Chapter 4, Section 12 c of the Higher Education Ordinance.

An individual who has completed a doctorate or equivalent scientific competence is qualified for appointment as an assistant professor. Candidates who met those qualifications a maximum of seven years before the application deadline should be prioritized, although other candidates may also be considered under special circumstances such as illness or parental leave.

Assessment criteria

The assessment criteria for appointment as an assistant professor at KTH are stated in KTH's appointments procedure section 1.3, and apply in relation to the employment profile laid down.

It is of the highest importance that the candidate has demonstrated:

  • scientific expertise, demonstrated through scientific publications, conference attendance, involvement in research collaborations, and other contributions to the scientific community, such as assignments as a reviewer or expert.
  • experience from a postdoctoral visit in a research environment other than the university at which the applicant defended their doctoral thesis. Experience from research and development work within the industry may be considered equivalent.

It is of the second highest importance that the candidate has demonstrated:

  • potential for qualification for a higher teaching post, including independent development as a researcher and teacher within the subject field, and the ability to establish, review, and develop the research area.
  • an interest in and understanding of pedagogical development within the subject field.

It is also of importance that the candidate has demonstrated:

  • interest in and insights concerning leadership in academia, collaboration with the outside community, and awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues, particularly gender equality.
Special grounds of assessment for promotion to associate professor

When assessing applications for promotion to associate professor, provisions according to Section 1.2.4 of Appointments procedure at KTH will be applied. Ability to teach in Swedish is a merit that is given great importance in the application for promotion.

Other

The position is largely funded by the Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technology (WACQT) and comes with a start package. WACQT is a 12-year one-billion-SEK research programme that aims to advance Swedish research and industry in quantum technology. It promotes career development, diversity, and equality through networking and support activities at the national level.

Time limitation: The appointment is for an indefinite term, but no more than six years, and may be extended if, due to the teacher's absence, more time is required. However, the total appointment period may not exceed eight years. The appointment is part of the Tenure Track system at KTH, and the assistant professor may apply for promotion to tenured associate professor.

Striving towards gender equality, diversity, and equal conditions is both a question of quality for KTH and a core part of our values.
